Defining an endpoint

Before you can begin to design a task, you must add endpoints to the Replicate server. To use an endpoint, you must have access to it somewhere in your system. When you add the endpoint to the Replicate server, you must provide connection information and proper user credentials.

Once you add endpoints to the Replicate server, you can begin to use them to build a replication task. For information on how to add an endpoint to a replication task, see Adding a source and target endpoint to a task.

To add an endpoint:

1. In the Tasks view, click Manage Endpoint Connections.

   The Manage Endpoint Connections window opens.

2. In the Manage Endpoint Connections window, click New Endpoint.

3. Select the type of endpoint you are using. The information that you must enter depends on which endpoint you select.

   For more information, see the chapter that describes the endpoint you are using. For a list of supported databases, see Supported Platforms and Endpoints.
